Happy I tried getaboss. Nothing magically does itself, but I’m following through more and that feels good.

The return is done. The appointment is booked. The laundry is… almost done. I’ll take it 🙌
Got everything ready the night before for once. Morning me was very grateful 😂
Finally cleared the pile of little tasks I kept avoiding. Took less time than all the worrying about them 😭
Started small instead of trying to become a whole new person overnight. Much easier to keep up with.
Actually left some breathing room in my schedule this week. Everything felt less rushed.
Made the phone call during my lunch break instead of thinking about it for another week!!
Got the errands done AND had time for coffee after. Solid morning ☕
Keeping my goals pretty basic this time. Get up, get ready, start when I said I would.
The donation bags are finally out of my trunk!! They’d been riding around with me for months.
Paid the bill before the due date and filed the receipt. Look at me being organized 😅
Opened the message ready to say ‘later’… ended up doing it right then. Took 8 minutes lol
Had the presents sorted before the last week of December. A personal first honestly.
Went for my walk before I could talk myself out of it. thanks for the nudge boss 🙌
Booked the appointment, filled out the forms, put it on my calendar. All in one afternoon!
Finally sent the email I’d been drafting in my head for a week 😂
I used to let one missed task ruin the whole list. Getting better at just doing the next thing.
Didn’t forget our anniversary this year!! Had dinner booked ahead of time too.
Got my errands done Friday instead of losing half my Saturday to them. Very happy about that!
Getting some of my routine back. Feels good to finish the little things again. thanks boss
My days used to be pretty scattered. Still working on it but having someone check in helps.
Crossed off the one task I’d been avoiding all week. Such a relief honestly.
Still figuring out a routine but I’m following through more. Happy with that 👍
Fewer chores waiting for me at bedtime. That alone has been nice.
Really appreciate being able to change things when my week gets busy.
The package by my door is finally returned!! It was basically furniture at this point 😂
Had an off day and we just picked back up the next morning. Appreciated how easy that was.
My schedule has been all over the place lately. Having a couple set things to do helps.
Started with two things a day. Sounds small but that was honestly enough for me.
Remembered to order the gift EARLY this time. No last minute shipping panic 🙌
Finally made that appointment. Been putting it off forever… took all of five minutes.
Made it out the door on time three days this week!! Taking the win 😂
Actually got through my morning list today. Before lunch too… that’s unusual for me lol
A quick message at the right time helps more than the giant list sitting in my notes app.
Had to change my routine and it wasn’t a big production. Just talked through the new times.
The reminders are useful but I especially like being able to talk through why I keep delaying something.
I like getting asked how it went after I finish something. Nice to close the loop.
Thank you boss!! Appointment booked, paperwork done, reminder set. Finally off my mind.
Nice having someone remember the thing I said I wanted to finish by Friday.
I can be honest when I haven’t done something. Makes it easier to figure out what to do next.
Honestly just glad I don’t have to remember every tiny thing by myself.
get a boss has been useful for keeping the small things moving. That’s mostly what I wanted.
Missed a couple tasks while traveling. We changed the plan for that week and picked back up afterward.
Asked to shift my check in a little earlier. Fits my day much better now.
Somebody checking on the boring tasks is exactly what I needed. Those are always the ones I skip.
Really liked being able to explain my weird schedule without having to make it sound organized first.
The check ins are short enough that I actually answer them. Appreciate that.
I like that I can say ‘today’s too much’ and we pick the things that actually need doing.
My list is shorter now and somehow more stuff gets done. Probably should’ve tried that sooner.
They checked back on something I mentioned earlier in the week. Nice knowing it didn’t get lost.
Some days I need the nudge. Other days I’ve already done it and get to say yes 😌
I was skeptical about paying for reminders. The conversations and follow ups are the useful part for me.
I like being asked what actually got in the way. Helped me realize my timing was unrealistic.
I actually reply to these messages. Can’t say the same about my reminder apps.
Finally opened the project I kept saying I’d work on. Haven’t finished but hey, started!
The trial helped me figure out what I actually wanted help with. Mostly mornings, turns out.
It’s the little stuff I forget. Return the package, make the call, that kind of thing. This helps.
Apparently ‘I’ll do it later’ isn’t a very good plan. Working on that 😅
I thought the messages might get annoying. Once we figured out the timing, they were actually helpful.
Nice having someone check back instead of another notification I immediately swipe away.
I like keeping the daily list short. Less planning, more actually doing things.
Wasn’t sure what to expect. Pretty easy to get started and explain what I needed.
Still have messy days. Difference is I’m getting back to the plan sooner instead of waiting for Monday.
I was overthinking a task that turned out to be pretty easy. The nudge to just start helped.
Getting out for my walk more often. Once my shoes are on I’m fine. It’s getting to that point.
Using this for a personal project after work. Easier to sit down when I’ve already picked a time.
Kept the routine going through a busy stretch. Not perfectly but enough that I didn’t feel back at zero.
My to do list used to be more of a wish list. It’s getting a little more realistic now.
Mostly wanted help sticking to a starting time. Been useful on days I’m working from home.
Having someone follow up makes the task feel a little harder to keep postponing.
Didn’t expect a quick check in to help much. Turns out I really don’t like saying ‘haven’t started’ every day.
I like having a clear time to get started. Otherwise an entire afternoon can disappear.
I need the follow up more than the first reminder. That’s the part that’s been useful.
Didn’t go overboard with goals this year. Just trying to keep a few small promises to myself.
My evenings used to be one long catch up session. Starting to handle more things earlier.
I know what I should be doing. Having somebody ask whether I did it makes a difference.
Getting started earlier in the morning. Still finding the right routine but it’s progress.
Finished the trial. Morning check ins were helpful enough that I’m considering staying.
I spend less time thinking about when to do stuff. Having an agreed time helps.
Pretty straightforward. I set the task, get a reminder, then get asked if I finished.
Me being ready on time?? Doesn’t happen every day yet but we’re getting there lol
Didn’t think I’d need reminders to take a break but here we are. Useful ones too.
I don’t need a huge pep talk every day. A quick check in usually does it.
Getting started is my issue. Once I’m doing the task I’m usually fine.
Made my usual giant January list. Cut it down to something I might actually finish.
Simple setup. I said what I needed reminders for and we went from there.
Started something before the night it was due. Could get used to this.
Finally stopped rewriting the same task on every new to do list lol
The bill reminders are handy. I like having a few days to check everything first.
The second reminder is usually the one that gets me moving.
Friendly check ins. Doesn’t feel awkward when I have to admit I haven’t started yet.
Someone asking ‘did you finish it?’ works surprisingly well on me.
The reminders help. I still have to do the stuff obviously, but at least I’m not forgetting half of it.
Pretty helpful during the week. Haven’t used it much for weekend plans yet.
The check ins help. I still put things off sometimes but usually not for quite as long.
Good experience so far. Still getting the weekend reminders figured out.
Still a work in progress over here. But the list isn’t following me into every weekend anymore.
Usually pretty good with work deadlines. Personal stuff is where I need the help.
Made it to more of my planned workouts this month. Missed a few, but less than usual.
Good for the everyday stuff. Nothing dramatic, just fewer things slipping through.
Helpful, though I needed a few days to get used to replying instead of just reading.
Using getaboss mainly for workday routines. Still early but it’s been useful.
Tried to change too much at once. Going better now that we’re focusing on a few basics.
Good so far. Mostly using it to stay on top of errands and appointments.
Helpful during workdays. Weekends are still a little messy for me.
Sometimes I read a reminder then immediately forget. The follow up later is what helps me.
Morning follow ups have been good. Still hate getting up early though.
Not every day goes to plan. Still getting more done than I was a month ago.
Useful so far. Learning that I usually put way too much on my list.
Mostly using this for mornings. Some days are better than others but the extra follow up is useful.
Had more reminders than I needed initially. Keeping only the important ones has worked better.
Some trial and error with the schedule. The current setup makes more sense for my work hours.
Had to cut down the number of check ins. I prefer one useful conversation over several messages.
Works better when I’m clear about what I need. My first list was way too vague.
Not quite the setup I wanted initially. Took some adjusting but we’re getting there.
Still deciding which reminders I need. Some are useful, some I probably don’t need every day.
A few reminders weren’t useful at first. Got more specific about my goals and that helped.
First schedule wasn’t quite right for me. Made a few changes after trying it for a week.
Had a couple reminders coming while I was in meetings. Switched the times and it’s better.
Took a bit of back and forth to explain my schedule. Going more smoothly now.
Asked for fewer check ins. That works better for me than getting a bunch throughout the day.
Had to move the reminders around a little. They were coming during my commute. Better now.
